I started my leave at 29 weeks wanted to go on but as I was working with toddlers in a nursery I couldnt do any more.

i was tempted to go no mat at 29 weeks, as i have had enough of work now, not because fed up with working but people are two faced and i have had enough of it!! I have decided to leave at 32 weeks now, I suppose it depends if you are going to go back to work as well?

wish i could finish at 29 weeks coz i ache like mad leaning over a desk all day, can't afford to though.

I've gone with finishing at 36, use up 3 weeks holiday beforehand, take maternity pay and then finish with holiday at the end.

29 weeks is fine. You have yourself and your baby to think about
and I am sure you will feel much better when you finish work.
I know I did. I spent my entire pregnancy trying to get out
of work !!! H x

I left at 31 weeks and that was great, my job was pretty stressful and Xmas was a good time to leave

Sounds good to me but remember...the earlier you leave, the earlier you have to go back!

I wish I'd finished sooner. I worked full-time (without a single day off) right up until my 36th week. I was hoping to have a month of rest before the baby came. No chance...finished work...baby came 3 days later!!

i think it is whatever your preference is, im 36 weeks and not leaving for another 2 and half weeks

ive been really lucky and had a great pregnancy, never got up during the night, slept like the dead, so think that is a big thing as have plenty energy, but i am starting to suffer from a bad back and hip and developing a walk like a 90 year old
